PowerPC 405GP - CPU Performance 133-266MHz - Features GPIO, PCI, SRAM Memory Controller

A fast, flexible solution for embedded developers.

General Description

405GP/GPR Product Photo The AMCC PowerPC 405GP and 405GPr family of 32-bit RISC processors is designed to provide a flexible, fast time-to- market hardware solution to satisfy the demands of high-performance embedded applications. Implemented in the scalable PowerPC architecture, the 405GP and 405GPr processors maintain code compatibility with other PowerPC processors for ease in migration and faster time-to-market. An optimized balance of performance, low power, and features makes them ideal solutions for communication, data storage, and pervasive computing applications.

The 405GP and 405GPr processors support speeds of up to 266MHz and 400MHz respectively. Both incorporate a rich mix of features, such as a PCI interface, an SDRAM Controller, a 64-bit on-chip CoreConnect bus, Ethernet and other on-chip peripheral support, and the IBM CodePack™ code compression engine. In addition, power management features, a small form factor, and low power consumption make the AMCC 405 processor family an ideal platform for applications ranging from networking to video.
